Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume of a triangular prism:

b and h are the base and height of the triangle
d is the depth of the overall prism

So you can pick any 3 positive numbers you want for b,h,d as long as they multiply to 3240.

Example:
b = 2, h = 4, d = 405
b*h*d = 2*4*405 = 3240

There are infinitely many ways to do this.
